Half of Miss. GOP Still Upset About Civil War
Half of them also think interracial marriage should be illegal.
Okay folks, it’s been about 150 years. From the Raw Story:
A recent survey (PDF) by the Democratic-affiliated Public Policy Polling survey found that less than half of the voters in North Carolina and Mississippi were glad that the North had won the war.
In North Carolina, 48 percent were happy the North won, while 21 percent wished the South had prevailed.
At 27 percent, even more of those polled in Mississippi were unhappy about the war’s outcome. Only 34 percent there approved of the North’s win.
Only in Georgia did more than half say they were pleased that the Union had won the war.
A majority of Democrats and independents were also supportive of the Union in Georgia in North Carolina.
In all three states, less than half of Republicans backed the North’s victory. Only 21 percent of Republicans in Mississippi supported the Union win.
Zounds!
